It was a fine start to the game last night, as Real Madrid. They opened the score just 57 minutes into the game from Vasquez, and Kylian Mbappe soon doubled the score. Rodrygo made it 3-0 in the second half, but the game would witness a big upset in its final moments.
Trailing 3-0 down, Alaves would score two quick goals in one minute, 85 and 86 to make it 3-2. Their efforts however fell short as Madrid managed the victory.
Prior to the clash, one of the big highlights of the night was when kylian Mbappe was subbed off. The player has since been rumored to have suffered from a discomfort, an Spanish newspaper Relevo, has shed light on the incident ahead of sunday’s Madrid Derby. [Via the Madrid zone]
Mbappé’s participation in question
According to the source, kylian Mbappé’s participation on Sunday is now a serious doubt. Real Madrid are now pessimistic, as his hamstring is affected.
This will come as a big blow to Carlo Ancelotti’s men and their title hopes, as they already find themselves chasing after Barcelona. The game against Atlético on Sunday will no doubt play a big role in the season’s outcome, considering Atlético are also strong title contenders.
A big miss for Real Madrid
Coming off the back of a three games goal draught at the beginning of the season, kylian has now gone on to score in five consecutive games for Real Madrid. The player already has seven goals and one assist in his first 9 Real Madrid games.
No doubt, kylian Mbappe is one of the main man at Real Madrid, and the team will miss his technique, should he be ruled out. Infact, no team out there won’t miss kylian if he played for them.
The injuries keep pulling up for Real Madrid. Although Camavinga is set to return on Thursday, Brahim Diaz, Ceballos, Joan Martinez and Alaba are still out.
